Connecticut deserves to go bankrupt.
That’s good. We need all arms mfgrs to reside in red states. Kinda like the reverse of the Civil War scenario where all the mfgrs were in Northern states......Starve the beasts....it’ll go way easier that way.
Anybody who owns a gun should move out of Connecticut.
And New York.
Indeed.
Long-term....as you look across at California, CT, Michigan, and New York state....it’s hard to see population levels staying at the same levels by 2030. I’m make a strong guess that each of these states lose ten percent of their population base by 2030.
Who gains? All southern states. These translate into a significant majority of the House being from southern states...something no one would have imagined back in 1970. The southern states will dictate the direction of the country by 2040, and lead several of the more progressive states into a confrontational situation. These are all states which can’t afford to continue their pension system or lifestyles, or even college education programs. They will be utterly dependent on the southern states by that point....which won’t agree to any state bailouts.
Yeeeeeeee1 Hahhhhhhhhhhh!
You tell ‘em governor!!!!
(Cool, excellent, wonderful, absolutely outstanding!!!
IMHO
Work’n on it
Texas is trying to contact all gun manufacturers in states with restrictive gun laws. The message should be: we welcome you, our state is good for all business, and you will be respected in our state.
That would be great, except part of the people leaving States like my California will be the same locusts that brought her to its knees...So far though most of the people leaving California have been mostly Conservatives making Cali bluer and the surrounding states redder.....I’m in the mostly red hinterlands of California, like where FR is located........there’s hope in there somewhere....
Stag Arms in New Britain, CN announce on Wed its intent to move also. Ammunition Storage Components said it was also evaluating offers from other states to move its 150 employee facility.

And pending in the State Legislature is HB872 and HB627 which say that firearms with a bore dia up to 1.5" and accessories and ammo made in Texas are not subject to any Federal restrictions as long as they stay in Texas.
On Apr 5 the following was announced.....

An should boycott both travel to and businesses operating in those states.
At this rate maybe my small home in Tx will be a good investment for the future if a real estate boom hits here in the coming years. A nice little ROI-—maybe. Can buy a whole lotta guns with the proceeds, ehehehehe.
GOOD for Gov. Perry and TX!
“Anybody who owns a gun should move out of Connecticut.’
And hit the armories in Connecticut on your way down to the patriot blue states.
With more conservatives flooding in - it will be good for every facet of life in TX. Conservatives want to see other conservatives prosper! Keeping the wealth in the ‘family’.
